- Expanded AWS connector capabilities: Added richer Amazon EKS troubleshooting tools and improved Redshift discovery, schema inspection, sampling, and connection flows. See connector docs here: https://docs.xpander.ai/connectors
Improvements:
- Atlassian cloud site selection for connectors: Added cloud selection for Jira, Jira Sprints, and Confluence connectors so users can explicitly choose the target Atlassian site during setup.
- Hosted assistants and activity views: Improved thread loading, sub-task activity rendering, OpenClaw thread handling, and activity panel layout for a more consistent chat and task experience.
- Agent planning and memory controls: Added configurable retry and memory optimization settings in the UI and improved retry handling for deeper planning flows.
Bug Fixes:
- Safari chat composer sizing: Fixed Safari iframe textarea sizing issues in hosted assistants for a more stable chat input experience.
- General platform fixes: Included fixes for agent activity layout behavior, OpenClaw thread initialization, and other reliability issues across the platform.
New Features:
- Revamped the Agent Studio experience: Simplified the agent builder, improved the configuration panel and save/publish flows, added trace views so you can build, test, and monitor your agent invocations at the same time, and refreshed several navigation and card experiences.
- Voice input and output for agents: Added microphone transcription in chat and a new voice output format so agents can return spoken responses.
- Audit logs for organizations: Added centralized audit logging, audit APIs, and an admin audit log experience for tracking important organization events.

- MongoDB connector and Redshift connector expansion: Added a MongoDB functions controller and expanded Redshift capabilities with async execution, connection validation, stronger pagination, and clearer error handling. See connector docs here: https://docs.xpander.ai/connectors
- Agent notifications settings: Added notification settings for agent execution outcomes, allowing the builder to configure a deterministic notification for every agent execution.
- Organization default LLM settings: Added organization-level default LLM settings and applied them across new agents, workflows, and related creation flows.
Improvements:
- OpenClaw and personal agent experience: Improved OpenClaw onboarding, focused OpenClaw settings on instructions, added supervised agent indicators, and refined personal and supervised agent organization in the UI.
- Billing and admin UI polish: Added a theme-aware billing portal and improved deploy and save interactions throughout the workbench.
- Agent container scheduling & metadata: Tuned agent container resources, improved multi-AZ pod distribution, and exposed the supervision flag in minimal agent payloads.

New Product launch!
Introducing fully managed OpenClaw-based Personal AI Assistants: Every employee in your organization now gets their own AI assistant — powered by OpenClaw, managed entirely by xpander. No setup, no configuration, no infrastructure to maintain. Each assistant lives where your team already works — Slack, Teams, or voice — and can act across any connected enterprise system through xpander’s supervised specialized agents. IT deploys once; every employee gets a personalized, context-aware agent that delegates tasks, pulls data, and executes workflows on their behalf. It’s not a chatbot that answers questions. It’s an agent that does the work — governed by your policies, running on your infrastructure, and getting smarter with every interaction.New Features:
- OpenClaw agents (beta): Added end-to-end OpenClaw integration, including a dedicated scaffold container, xpander↔OpenClaw bridge, plugin-based tool execution, and OpenClaw-specific health checks.
- OpenClaw onboarding and channel setup: Added an onboarding wizard and workbench flows for OpenClaw container readiness and Telegram/Slack channel pairing and configuration.
- Cloudflare AI Gateway provider: Added Cloudflare AI Gateway as an LLM provider option across agents, workflows, and workflow nodes.
Improvements:
- Agent container reliability: Migrated agent containers from Kubernetes Jobs to Deployments with PVC-backed persistent storage and added periodic health reconciliation.
- Sub-agent discovery: Added a built-in capability for OpenClaw agents to discover and list available sub-agents from the agent graph.
- Workbench UX updates: Renamed “Task sources” to “Channels”, improved OpenClaw trigger UX, and enhanced activity/log views (including Markdown table rendering).
- Redshift ergonomics: Added connector-level path parameters for cluster/database/catalog and increased Redshift statement execution timeout.
Bug Fixes:
- Activity log pagination: Fixed page ordering and navigation semantics so newer messages appear first and paging behaves consistently.
- As always, our agents and humans continuously fix various bugs.
